We studied the transmission of photons in mouse brain in both with and without intact skull states using Monte Carlo method. Photon track, optical absorption density and fluence rate were used as indicators for analysis. We found that, the photon distribution without intact skull goes farther in both longitudinal and transverse directions compared with that of with intact skull. The distribution of optical absorption density and fluence rate was fusiform and rounder on the whole with intact skull. This study will provide reference and theoretical guidance for the optical imaging of mouse brain and the study of the mouse and human brain.
